The notification will\r\n incorporate a \u00e2\u0080\u0098standstill period\u00e2\u0080\u0099 of a\r\n minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is\r\n not electronic) between the date on which\r\n the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to\r\n conclude the relevant framework agreement.\r\n The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will\r\n automatically continue the prohibition on entering\r\n into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or\r\n disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings\r\n to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the\r\n framework agreement has been entered into include\r\n the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning\r\n tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against\r\n the authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the\r\n framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition\r\n of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be\r\n established. Otherwise the remedies that may be\r\n awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to\r\n the award of damages. Economic operators are\r\n entitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further\r\n clarification. The authority will respond within\r\n 15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such\r\n request during the standstill period may not\r\n prevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the\r\n standstill period. Economic operators should\r\n approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is\r\n to apply to the courts:\r\n An economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a\r\n breach of duty under the Public\r\n Contracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014,\r\n may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the court of session",
